According to the state of Iowa's occupational projections, bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing assistants are projected to have a huge number of openings in the next few years, due not only to job growth, but also to job replacement needs. If you plan to transfer and earn a bachelor's degree, the associate of arts degree with an accounting major is recommended for your course of study.
